tvordljDigby and Grand Pre
Grand Pre is a national historic site in the Annapolis Valley, the heart of Acadie, the French settlements in Nova Scotia. The British under General Winslow deported the French settlers under appalling conditions starting in 1755. The national historic site was created in the early years of the 20th century and includes a church that was built as a memorial. There are acres of grounds, some gardens and some marshy dykeland across the road. There's a very good visitor center with research facilities.
Digby is a fishing town on the Fundy shore of the Annapolis Basin. It's famed for scallops. There is a lovely waterfront, a few historic houses and churches and you can always plan on getting excellent fresh seafood here.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
